Win the Race - Serving God

Winning the race with God’s grace.

Racing isn’t just about crossing the finish line—it’s about giving back! In this fun and inspiring segment, the team learns that serving others is what truly makes a difference. But Laps isn’t so sure—why give time and effort when you can just pay someone else to do it? 

Through laughter, surprising lessons, and a few unexpected turns, Laps discovers that real purpose comes from being involved. Just like in racing, our faith grows when we serve God and others! Inspired by Ephesians 2:10, this skit is packed with humor, heart, and a powerful message—perfect for VBS, children’s camps, and church events!

Get ready for fun, faith, and a lesson on serving that will stick with you long after the checkered flag drops!

This is Segment #4 of a 5-part drama. 

NOTE: All segments can be ordered as standalone scripts or a complete series.

Winning the Race is designed for VBS or children's camp but works well in any setting. This engaging skit follows five uniquely entertaining race car drivers as they navigate the road to discovering God’s purpose for their lives. Using the high-energy theme of car racing—along with a healthy dose of family-friendly humor (guaranteed to keep both kids and leaders laughing!)—each segment explores a different aspect of finding purpose in life. The five segments include:

• • Complete series of 5 segment scripts 
  • or for individual segments:
    • Segment #1:  knowing and following Jesus (John 17:3)
    • Segment #2: through true worship (Mark 12:30) 
    • Segment #3: knowing God’s people (Ephesians 2:19) 
    • Segment #4: serving God (Ephesians 2:10) link
    • Segment #5: telling others about Jesus (Acts 1:8) 

Cast:  6

• Andi Airhead
• Randy Ratchet
• Ted Tirechanger
• Wendy Wrench
• Trudy Treadwear
• Laps the Racer, the singer and guitarist, (sorry we couldn’t find anyone with talent but he comes free so . . .), but Laps is a wannabe singer and a wanna be racer
  • and all these work together to result in silliness with a strong Christian message

Sample of THIS “SERVING GOD” SEGMENT #4 script:

(Andi and Trudy come on stage, speaking.)

Trudy: So, anyhow, Becky just got back last night from the SCRA annual meeting in Phoenix.

Andi: I bet Becky would get a real up-close look at how things happen there. The Stock Car Racing Association does a great job, and I know Becky will do great serving on the board of directors.

Trudy: Well, she sure was excited about being elected to the board.

Andi: Becky has served on the local board for years, so it's not like she is new to making good decisions.

Trudy: Well, Becky always says she learned a ton from serving on the executive with you, Andi. You’ve always been serving over the years.

Andi: What about all the years you have been a volunteer, Trudy? When they gave you the “VIP Volunteer” award last year, everyone I talked to said it couldn’t go to a more deserving person.

Trudy: We all do our bit, Andi. No one is more deserving than anyone else.

(Laps comes on stage, singing and strumming guitar.)

Laps:
Oh they call me a racer
I bin racin' long time
For sure I'm a legend
Only in my own mind.

Andi: Hi Laps, hey, I was just talking about you to Lefty Speedball last night.

Laps: Lefty Speedball?

Andi: Yeh, Lefty—he’s in charge of recruiting crowd control people for the big race next month. I said maybe you would like to volunteer.

Laps: Me? Volunteer? And just where do you figger I am gonna carve out time in my hectic schedule to like volunteer?

Trudy: All of us are busy, Laps, but without volunteers, we simply couldn’t put on these great activities. Racing just wouldn’t fly without dedicated volunteers.
